🌲 The Birches ➠ Luxury Condotel in Downtown Lake Leelanau | U4

Room enough for your whole group of 8 without anyone doubling up — that's The Birches, 236 feet from downtown Lake Leelanau, with the marina just as close.

This is Up North living without leaving the village. Start the morning with the Chateau Chantal sparkling wine waiting in your kitchen, walk to Iron House Gym on the house, then spend the day however you like — wine tasting along the Leelanau Peninsula Wine Trail, browsing downtown, out on the water at the marina, or driving out to Sleeping Bear Dunes and the bike trails. Every part of Leelanau County, Michigan is just minutes from your door. The location alone means this stay feels less like a hotel room and more like the Lake Leelanau condo you wish you owned.

Two bedrooms, two and a half baths, and real square footage to spread out in — a king suite, a second bedroom with two queens, and a sleeper sofa in the living area, so eight people can stay together without stacking on top of each other. The kitchen is stocked to actually cook a dinner, not just microwave one. In-unit laundry means you pack light and leave heavy. A private balcony and Smart TVs with your own streaming logins round out the space.

Downtown Lake Leelanau, Michigan — 236 feet from your door, a one-minute walk to the public boat launch and marina, and right on the Leelanau Peninsula Wine Trail. NJ's Grocery is 318 feet away. Suttons Bay Beach is 4.5 miles, Bahle Farms Golf Course is 6.6 miles, Sleeping Bear Dunes is a 25-minute drive, and Cherry Capital Airport, in Traverse City, is 25 minutes out.

Sleeps 8 (adults and kids). Check-in 4 PM, check-out 11 AM, self-check-in by smart lock. Quiet hours 10 PM–8 AM and a strict no-party policy. No smoking indoors. Please note: each unit has two sets of stairs and no elevator access.

Perfect location in the heart of the peninsula. Awesome property. New. Clean. Private. Quiet. Everything you need. There are two tall flights of stairs (one with a lockable door) just be prepared if you have littles.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Very nice place overall, close proximity to a couple of eateries,and a small convenience store is located right across the street. Quiet neighborhood. Cleanliness was overall good (except for some soap scum that foamed up in our coffee maker as soon as we filled it with water, and the one bathroom had some sticky gobs of hair in the corner).Would stay there again,but we found it odd that we were being asked to start a load of towels before departing. Not to be lazy, but is that not what we paid the cleaning and service fees for? Also, i feel they should be professionally sanitized, with bleach, and we didn't see any.For the price we paid, we would expect that our towels are properly cleaned,and not having to rely on the fact that the guests before us hopefully washed them right...just saying
